Adobe Firefly image generator

Firefly is a generative machine learning model developed by Adobe using its Sensei AI platform. 

Firefly was trained with images and videos in Adobe's royalty-free Stock platform and public domain images from Creative Commons, Wikimedia, Flickr Commons, and other generative AI systems.

Firefly was launched as a beta in March 2023 and fully released in June 2023. Adobe is in the process of integrating Firefly with a number of its products, including Illustrator, Premiere Pro and Express.
